Are you ever too old to Troop?
carbonitekid replied to DroidHunter's topic in Getting Started - Read this First!
The Vectis Remnant Squad of the UKG has a member who has recently turned Sixty, and who is assembling/trooping in costumes at a quite breath taking rate. Me. I'm a youngster of only 39. -
"George" approves Alex mate. ;-)

Mike tips area reinforcement
carbonitekid replied to Tesla Kinetic's topic in Assembly, Mods, and Painting
Another option I have found to work very well is this: Baby wipes. allow a couple to dry out fully and keep in repair kit. Use in place of Tshirt material with CA glue. So far I have repaired over a dozen TK armour parts of various makes and 3 helmets. But as said avoid the fumes as the are truly noxious / cyanide containing. Hope this is of use. -
Why in a pm ? Again this looks like its trying to be kept from the general populace. Ask yourself this...... If what others have shared of the reasons behind her actions are not the case then why has she not spoken against them when she has chosen to post on here, In this very thread, since they were posted. Karins only minor fault is that she is too damned polite. Some of us have been treated in such a way in the past that we no longer feel the need to be so. YOU feel aggravated!!! Imagine ( or atleast try ) how she feels. A detachment should be about how its members feel, not how its staff does. And given that her protagonists have been named, and given that they both have "history"; are we the lowly membership in a position that you would deign to listen to us and investigate and deal with the route causes?

Yes, there are. And as usual their actions are over looked at the expense of an invaluable member of this community. Lock and hide eh? Like "sweep under the carpet"? Hide from those it may effect? Sacrifice a true and trusted member in order to keep the status quo? No one is being clever; no one is "drawing it out of her" ( implication being that there is some truth to the afore posted comments) , some of us just have the common decency to have actually asked her what the issue is. If those whom have been answered to her reasons choose to comment then why should they not? For fear of upsetting the delicate sensibilities of those that have caused her departure of for fear of upsetting the apple cart? Instigation? Define please. p.s. good man Paul

Not surprised. Not surprised. Why not ask Karin if she minds the speculation? Her thread after all.

Same as has driven many away; Verne, and the tolerance of the staff towards him and his actions judging by what has been posted elsewhere.

And another rock of the foundations gone.

Suggestions Needed: How do you unglue hot glue?
carbonitekid replied to Outer Rim Tim's topic in Assembly, Mods, and Painting
I concur. To remove it spray with furniture polish such as Mr Sheene. Leave for five mins and it should peel straight off. -
PP RSprop helmet! Ugly thing!
carbonitekid replied to Verne's topic in Build Threads Requireing Maintenance
Very nice. -
Supporting the Empire - What is some good answers you've given..
carbonitekid replied to SmilesLikeJoker's topic in Off Topic
Q: Are you hot in there? A: Well the ladies think so... Q: Aren't you a little short..... A: I'm the one with the blaster, Wanna ask that again? Or, pin against wall with arms/legs spread in arrest type scenario. After a couple of troops you will soon get to "read" which members of the public re willing to play along and go with such a scenario. Q: Where did you get your armour? A: Standard Imperial Issue. If question is pushed with genuine interest then individual is pointed towards one of our "spotters" ( some call them squires) for more info. Q: How do you pee? A: weenie head...pause.... "Like that Sir/Madam" Q: Can I hold your blaster? A: "Sorry Sir/Madam. If you blast someone its a forest of paperwork. Health and Safety you see." ( Europeans will get this . ) Q: Can you see in that helmet? A: Look questioner up and down disdainfully...." Sadly Sir/Madam, yes". ie, Have fun, be a git but do it with tongue in cheek. -
Would These Be Acceptable?

Grab with both hands. If you are that size then you are unlikely to get better.
